The g-stroke character Ǥ / ǥ is a letter of the Latin Skolt Sami alphabet, denoting the voiced velar fricative /ɣ/.[1]: 38 It is sometimes pronounced as a voiced velar approximant /ɰ/ instead. It appears word-medially and word-finally, and often appears as a double letter ǥǥ to indicate that the sound is phonemically geminate, as in čååǥǥam "comb" or šiõǥǥ "good".[1]: 65
It is also used in some orthographies for the Kiowa language, where it represents a voiceless but unaspirated velar stop /k/ (similar to the k sounds in English skate).[2]: 299
In Kadiweu, G with stroke is used to represent the voiced uvular stop ɢ. The letter is also used to write Proto-Germanic, has been used to write Northern Sami (in an old orthography), and is used to represent a velar nasal in the Old Icelandic orthography proposed in the First Grammatical Treatise.[citation needed]
